Check your sway bar.

Did your shock go out? Press up and down on the front passenger side 3 or 4 times, if the car continues to bounce after you stop it's the shock.

Perhaps obvious, but look for fresh metal scrapes; like if something is hitting where it shouldn't.

What do you mean by 'whole front end' if you didn't remove the springs yet have new shocks?

Ahh, just saw your website.

the shocks have like 500 miles on them from last summer and thats it. I took the front end of the car in one single piece. All i did was unbolt the sway bar and strut tower mounts

And bolted back on a 1999 front end? Looks cool.
